Tennis coach Paul Torricelli has received a national letter of intent from Alex Witt, Texas' No. 2-ranked player in boys 18-and-under competition. The 6-foot-1-inch, 165-pound senior from Houston was ranked 24th nationally in the 16-and-under ranks in 1982. In addition to excelling on the tennis court, Witt also is a member of the National Honor Society. "Alex was our top recruit," said Torricelli. "He has a big game, which is ideally suited for collegiate tennis."

The women's basketball team is ranked No. 25 nationally after winning its first four games. Coach Don Perrelli's squad will play an exhibition against Athletes in Action on Thursday night in Welsh-Ryan Arena before heading to Massachusetts to meet Holy Cross Sunday, Boston College Dec. 21 and Northeastern Dec. 22.
